Manage DB2 automatic client reroute settings

We can use the Database Server Configuration page to set up a DB2 automatic client reroute. This option is available for a DB2 datasource only.

Automatic client reroute enables an IBM Data Server Client application to recover from a loss of communications so that the application can continue its work with minimal interruption. As the name suggests, rerouting is central to the support of continuous operations. Rerouting is only possible when an alternate location is identified to the client connection.

1. Go to the top level of the Appliance Dashboard click Configure > Database Server Configuration.

2. Select Identity data store and click either Configure or Reconfigure.

3. Click the DB2 ACR tab in the Edit Identity data store details window.

4. Specify the values to set for the connections.

   Retry interval for client reroute:

   Amount of time, in seconds, between retries for automatic client reroute.

   Maximum retries for client reroute:

   If the primary connection to the server fails, it specifies the maximum number of connection retries that are attempted by the automatic client reroute function. The property is only used when Retry interval for client reroute is set.

   Alternative server names:

   List of alternate server name or names for the DB2 server. If more than one alternate server name is specified, the names must be separated by commas, such as host1,host2.

   Alternate port numbers:

   List of alternate server port or ports for the DB2 server. If more than one alternate server port is specified, the ports must be separated by commas, such as 50000,50001. The port number must be the same type as the port number specified on the Connection tab, either SSL or non-SSL.

5. Click Save Configuration.
